Minneapolis has reached that stage of
growth and progress when the principle
should obtain that railroads shall not
own the earth. The city once sOwed the
wind of prodigal franchises to railroads
and is now reaping the whirlwind of
cramped facilities. What is in the
power of the city to do, should be done
at once. Fhe Hastings Il Dakota branch
of the Milwaukee road should be low
cred without delay. 1t is advisable. il
is necessary, and it never can be done
more cheaply. One-third of the entire
territory of the city lies south of that
track and it isa territory that is build
ing up with unexampled rapidity. 1t is
prepoSterOuS that the numerous paSSen-
ger trains and heavy wheat trains
should be permitted to thunder along
that road. crossing nearly every street at
grade, cutting off every long drive and
even crossing, in an extremely danger
Gus way, the Lake of the Isles boule-
ward. There is no reason or room for
hesitation. The increased valuation of
property south of the track will pay the
cost back in taxes in five years. IL there
are TO be 1900 railroad men thrown idle
on the city. this winter. by the compile
ton of the Winston and Langdon con
tracts, why not put them at work on this
| absolutely necessary Improvement?
Several ambitious young cOlored men
are anxious to secure positions on the
daily press, as reporters, and they say
the Republican papers are closed up
like clam shells, wherever they appear.
No cOlOred men, they say, need apply.
This is entirely mistake. They don't
go at it in the right way. They should
secure a champion and an advocate in,
for instance, Curtis ii. Petit, whose in
terest in tn ,'colored race is of record.
Judge IL. G. Hicks would be another
good man. Few cOlored men will have
forgotten how, in the county convention,
he ardently advocated the placing of a
colored man on the delegation to the
| state convention. When Judge Abel
| or Judge Num- proposed substituting
the name of J. S. Sterritt for that OF
Henry G. Hicks-even then the judge
was equal to the occasion. Why don't
! these ambitious cOOnS secure the "intlOO-
ence" of such pronounced friends of the
cOlOred men? HELOT.

EPIDEMIC OF HYSTERIA
The Curious Convulsionist Mania Prevail
ing in an italian Province.

The Curious Convulsionist Mania Prevail.
ing In an Italian Province.
A curious outbreak of convulsionist
mania. analogous to those which oc-
Cured from time to time during the
Middle Ages, has shown itself at Agosta,
in the province of Rome.
For some weeks past the country
people have been laboring under the
delusion that the district is under the
immediate government of the evil one,
and before retiring to rest they care
fully place on the threshold the broom
and the salt, which are. credited with
the power of keeping off evil spirits.
Many of the younger women have epi-
leptiform attacks, during which they
utter piercing shrieks and are violently
convulsed. So serious had the condi-
ton of things become that the Syndic
of Agosta found it necessary to inform
the Prefect, who sent detachments of
soldiers into the district in order to
calm the apprehensions of the inhab-
itants.
As q natural consequence of this
condition of mental perturbation the
country is overrun with quacks, who
claim to possess the only infallible
remedy for the seizures. One of these
nostrums, the vender of which was
making a rich harvest from its sale. WAS
found on analysis to consist of earth,
snuff and borax. Three medical men
who were commissioned TO investigate
the cause and nature of this extra
ordinary affection came to the conclu-
sion that it was an epidemic of hysteria.
They examined number of the suf-
ferers, mostly young women, some of
whom were alleged to have vomited
| nails, horseshoes and other equally in
digestible substances, while others
barked like dogs. Several of them
were removed to Rome for treatment in
the hospitals there. and measures have
been taken to check the spread of the
mischief.
In milder degree this contagious
form of hysteria is not infrequent,
especially in places where ignorance
and superstition favor manifestations
of nervous disorder. The worst ex-
cesses of popular outbreaks, like the
French revolution, have been attributed
| to similar influences, and with every
appearance of justice.-British Medical

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY
What 1t Costs to Raise Boy for the Firs
Twenty Years of His Life.

What 1t Costs to Raise q Boy for the First
Twenty Years of His Life.
'My father never did any thing for
me-" recently remarked young man
who few weeks ago finished his school
life, and is now seeking good busi-
ness opening. Judging by the words
and the complaining tone in which they
were uttered the member of the firm
who heard them is prone to believe
that the young mans idea of "doing
something" is an outright gift of a
thousand dollars in lump, or the
purchase of partnership in an estab-
lshed concern. This young man, to
the knowledge of the writer, has never
done one months actual work for
others in his entire life. His life has
been passed in the pleasant pastimes OF
the home circle, in reading. study,
hunting, fishing, ball-playing, yachting
and other employments not particularly
beneficial to others. He is a type of
that class Of boys whose parents are
sufficiently well-to-do to keep servants
to attend the household drudgery, and
whose fathers follow vocations in which
no use can be made of the boys spare
hours. Like most boys Of his class, he
looks upon his board and clothes for
twenty years, together with his pony,
jewelry, bicycle, ETC., as matters OF
course. The writer, while the COM
planning remark was still ringing in
his ears. had the curiosity to make a
conservative compilation of what il
costs to raise an ordinary boy for the
first twenty years Of his life, and here
it is:
500 per year for the first five years. 50t
$50 per year for the second five years.. 75(
500 per year for the third five years. Loo
$500 per year for the next three years.. 90
$500 per year for the next two years........ LOO

Yes, this is a moderate estimate oi

who complains that his father ha!
never done any thing for him.-Buf
